Press Sample
So I was very behind in swatching from basically February on as I was finishing my dissertation and in the crocs of the most important deadlines. I then decided to work backwards and since this collection had been out for so long, I figured most people had seen it so I would swatch it last in my catchup pile. I actually did comparisons for this collection when I first got it. That was mostly out of curiosity, but then I never posted them lol here they are now.
Quick comparison time.
Left: I Lily Love You, Right: Spice Things Up
They are similar finishes, but totally different colors. One is more pink, and the other one has more orange undertones. Personally, I like the orange undertones more because that is the color I like to wear more, but both are pretty and staying in my stash.
Left to Right: Pucker Up, Simply the Zest, Bumbling Around, Sun Kissed
All of these are very different despite having some similarities in the bottle. I am clearly going to keep all of these because I love yellow and gold nail polish, but I figured I would share how these look in case you were wondering. Pucker Up and Bumbling Around are the closest color wise, but they are very different finishes.
Left: You Wish! Right: Mirror Mirror In the Stall
These are very close, but yet still different. Mirror Mirror was a PPU so if you missed out on it, You Wish! is a great alternate. Mirror Mirror has a bit of pink to it but both are neutral sparkly polishes. I personally love sparkly neutrals, so I will be keeping both of these.
Left: Tulip to Apologize Right: Flip Out
Obviously, these are different, as Tulip to Apologize glows. In addition, Flip Out is way more orange. But they look similar in the bottle. I feel sort of indifferent towards the shades, so I’m not sure what I’m doing with both of them even though I originally kept Flip Out.
Left: Constant State of Phlox Right: Silky Drawers
Phlox has much more blue in it, but they are both purple reflectives. I prefer Phlox. Since I don’t wear reflective polishes enough, I will be purging the other one.
Left: Blossom Job Right: Ultra-Violet
Blossom Job is more blue, but these are very similar and I don’t see the need for both unless you really love reflectives. Personally, I do not wear enough reflective, and I don’t love these sort of purple polishes, so not sure if either is staying.
So there you have it. And extremely long overdue comparison post, but like I’ve mentioned before, a lot of of these are for me so that I can trim down my stash as I am running out of space and refuse to get any more Helmers.
